Condi in Liverpool

“The most unwelcome visit to Liverpool since Oswald Mosley came here in the 1930s”, is how the mass circulation Liverpool Echo newspaper describes Condoleezza Rice’s visit to the city on Friday 31 March, organised for her by UK Foreign Secretary Jack Straw.

Condeleezza Rice, George Bush’s Secretary of State, is one of the architects of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and directly implicated in the horrific levels of death and destruction inflicted on those countries.

Anti-war activists in Liverpool and in Blackburn are outraged by her visit and have organised demonstrations on 31 March and 1 April. Support for these demonstrations is being called from across the country.
